[Dovecot] RHEL 3 and quota issues.
by Alan Premselaar 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks to code provided by Geo Carncross, I was able to determine what the problem was with v2 quota support on RHEL 3 using ext3 filesystems. I've included a patch file for quota-fs.c <sys/quota.h> on RHEL 3 sets _LINUX_QUOTA_VERSION to 1 if it's not defined by default. I copied <sys/quota.h> to ./sysquota.h and edited it to set _LINUX_QUOTA_VERSION to 2 if not defined since that's the version i'm using on my machine. I don't know if that's necessarily appropriate so I'm not including that file. (I then modified quota-fs.h to load "sysquota.h" instead of <sys/quota.h>) I was able to get it to compile and properly show the quota information now. I'd like to do more testing (like seeing if explicitly setting _LINUX_QUOTA_VERSION to 2 is really necesssary) but my one and only RHEL 3 machine is my production mail server, so I can't really do that. Anyways, since I figured out the problem and fixed it for myself, I thought I would share :) Timo, perhaps if you have the time to look at the patch and if the modifications to the quota.h file are necessary or not and include it into the next CVS update, I'm sure people would appreciate it.

[Dovecot] escaping in sqlite
by Jakob Hirsch 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

Hi Timo&all, a recent change in the sql drivers introduced escaping, but sqlite is a different in this aspect: You cannot escape with a backslash, the only character that needs escaping is the quoting character itself (by doubling it, as the SQL standard says). As the escaping function does not know which quote character is used, one should only use the single tick ' (again, as the SQL standard says) and the escaping function double any single quote in the string. (untested) patch for the latter attached.

[Dovecot] recent dovecot: assertion failed.
by sergey ivanov 25 Jun '06

25 Jun '06

Hi, today I have built dovecot from cvs sources, and upgraded server from beta-7 to this newer version. Then i got problems with opening INBOX using thunderbird 1.5.0.2. The client says "Opening folder...", then, after about half a minute, blinking "connecting to the server" and returning to "Opening folder..." /var/log/maillog gets the messages: --- Jun 22 17:19:07 parkheights dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<seriv>, method=plain, rip=66.80.117.2, lip=192.168.10.14, TLS Jun 22 17:19:26 parkheights dovecot: IMAP(seriv): file index-search.c: line 845 (search_get_seqset): assertion failed: (ctx->seq1 <= ctx->seq2) Jun 22 17:19:26 parkheights dovecot: child 25812 (imap) killed with signal 6 --- and this lines repeat and repeat. At the same time I can open some INBOX' subfolders at the same server. So, I think it is a problem not with a server's software, but with mail storage. Help me, please, - how can I fix these indexes, or what causes the problem with access to that mail folder?

Timo - The only behavior change that I notice is that when I exit the telnet session the truss also exits. Previously, the truss hung around until I did the "pkill dovecot", after exiting the telnet session. So, that's weird. But, hold on!

[Dovecot] dovecot-1.0_beta9 : (auth) killed with signal 11
by Paul Harrington 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

I have just upgraded from courier to dovecot and things seem to be working okay (after a few problems getting shared folders working correctly). I notice the following error message in my logs:- Jun 23 11:17:32 calzone dovecot: child 1258 (auth) killed with signal 11 I am using the beta9 ebuild that is available from gentoo portage. I have followed the steps to try to get a core dump but it doesn't seem to be working.

[Dovecot] LMTP revisited
by Glenn Leavell 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

During the early Dovecot LDA brainstorming discussions, there was some talk about the possibility of including an LMTP interface, and I've noticed that there's an "is it needed?" question about LMTP in Dovecot's TODO file. I'd like to put in a vote for LMTP, and I'm wondering if anyone else has a need for it. Specifically, I'd love an LMTP-enabled LDA that uses hard links when when delivering the same message to multiple recipients (I'm thinking Maildir files), as it would be a nice way to facilitate so-called Single Instance Storage.

[Dovecot] imap - mailbox in an inconsistant state
by Patrick Carney 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

Can anyone help me with this issue? The CEO of our company keeps getting IMAP time out errors and "mailbox is in an inconsistent state" messages. He uses Outlook 2003. There are errors on the server side. This is what it says: "Jun 19 08:08:34 burmail imap(ed): Corrupted binary tree file /home/ed/mail/.imap/INBOX/.imap.index.tree: UID to be inserted isn't hi gher than existing (2 <= 504)" Can someone tell me what that means?? I have been assigned to take over for a departed sys admin and have never used or administered Dovecot before. Thank You! Patrick

[Dovecot] Patch for rawlog.c
by Andreas Schulze 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

hello The homedirectories are stored as a relative path in my userdb One problem ocoures with rawlog: rawloging occures only if a directory $HOME/dovecot.rawlog exist. this is checked with lstat for me $HOME is always "username/". This is relative to /var/mail and works. in rawlog.c lstat should now check "username//dovecot.rawlog" which fails. lstat can check "/var/mail/username//dovecot.rawlog" or "./dovecot.rawlog" ( All checks test the existence of the same dir. ) I patched rawlog.c for me to force always the test of "./dovecot.rawlog" I think, this is no problem, because imap-auth / pop3-auth always change to the correct location. mayby I am wrong, because I'm _NOT_ dealing with mboxes, only maildirs. then you may discard this ... --- snip diff -Naur dovecot-1.0.beta9.orig/src/util/rawlog.c dovecot-1.0.beta9/src/util/rawlog.c --- dovecot-1.0.beta9.orig/src/util/rawlog.c 2006-02-26 11:05:31.000000000 +0100 +++ dovecot-1.0.beta9/src/util/rawlog.c 2006-06-23 08:37:57.684368256 +0200 @@ -21,6 +21,7 @@ #define TIMESTAMP_WAIT_TIME 5 #define TIMESTAMP_FORMAT "* OK [RAWLOG TIMESTAMP] %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S\n" +#define RAWLOG_DIRNAME "./dovecot.rawlog" static struct ioloop *ioloop; @@ -261,20 +262,14 @@ static void rawlog_open(bool write_timestamps) { - const char *home, *path; struct stat st; int sfd[2]; pid_t pid; - home = getenv("HOME"); - if (home == NULL) - home = "."; - /* see if we want rawlog */ - path = t_strconcat(home, "/dovecot.rawlog", NULL); - if (lstat(path, &st) < 0) { + if (lstat(RAWLOG_DIRNAME, &st) < 0) { if (errno != ENOENT) - i_warning("lstat() failed for %s: %m", path); + i_warning("lstat() failed for %s: %m", RAWLOG_DIRNAME); return; } if (!S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)) @@ -305,7 +300,7 @@ dec2str(getppid()))); ioloop = io_loop_create(system_pool); - rawlog_proxy_create(0, 1, sfd[0], path, write_timestamps); + rawlog_proxy_create(0, 1, sfd[0], RAWLOG_DIRNAME, write_timestamps); io_loop_run(ioloop); io_loop_destroy(&ioloop); ---- snap -- Andreas Schulze DATEV eG, Paumgartner Strasse 6-14, D - 90429 Nürnberg Abt.
